"Voice isn't that great?!"
Nonsense.
I know it probably won't mean much coming from some random nobody but I am VERY picky about songs with vocals in them and what you have is a gift and I loved it! You have a wonderful voice and I particularly liked the harmony that you weaved thoughout the song as well as your pronunciations for the words in the dragon tongue.
The only thing that didn't seem to fit to me was the drums near the end. I think they may have been just a tad too loud or maybe it needed a different type of drum? Not certain.
Regardless, beautiful work and I look forward to hearing more!

Jessismith responds:
Hey thanks man. That means so much. I'm glad you liked the harmonies and background vocals that I added. And I was definitely trying to be clear and concise with pronunciation, so I;m glad it all came through okay.
I agree that the drums are probably a bit too loud. I just used a typical bass drum, like they use in war chants. That part of the song was sort of like a war chant...or more like the original one. I may change it up later.
But anyway, thanks again. I will most likely be submitting more vocal stuff soon, so keep an eye out. :)
Oddly enough the first bit of this reminded me a few of the songs from that Anastesia animated movie. gives it a nice ancient feeling I think....but now it's reminding me of the Sending from Final Fantasy X mixed with Cosmo Canyon from Final Fantasy VII
Jessismith responds:
I appreciate it. All of those are songs I love, so it's definitely an honor to hear that my song reminds you of them. :)
Awesome, now on to find similar music!
Jessismith responds:
Thanks. :D
It's been a while since I've reviewed one of your tracks and I end up running into this gorgeous piece of work. This is honestly pretty damn amazing and you've got a beautiful voice to boot. I'd love to hear more stuff like this from you in the future!
Totally going into my favorites! :3
Jessismith responds:
Thank you, Shanath. Means a lot coming from you. You're a very talented music artist as well. :) And don't worry. I'll definitely have more where that came from, hopefully soon. :)
This was amazingly done my friend. It is very hard to find good songs such as these and it seems more and more of them are popping up here on newgrounds. The language just flows so smoothly with the melody that I can easily loose myself in the realm of imagination to this. Maybe even write a short story from this as I am an amateur writer and enjoy writing stories from songs. Keep up the good work my friend. 5/5 from me.
Jessismith responds:
Oops. I realize my reply never went through....this must be because of a site glitch. :( Anyway, I just wanted to express my sincerest appreciation of your review. Knowing that my music can be used as a source of pure inspiration is what inspires me to keep going. :) I appreciate everything you've said, my good friend. And I would love to read your short story whenever you finish it! Thank you so much!
